Evil Cheeka Brigade is back in Challengers

Srikanth declared the Challengers trophy squads for India Red, Blue and Greens. The CT would be held in Indore on October 8 - 11.

Who are the captains ? Yuvraj Singh, Dinesh Karthik and Subbu Dabrinath.

Wow. Dinesh Karthik and Subbu being the Chennai lads are now the captains of the squads. What the Butt.

To add more salt to the wound, Srini is now the BCCI chief in elect. So see more of Chennai duds in national team and if the coaches, captains dont follow suit, they would be fired. Getting MSD in CSK was a master stroke from Srini in 2007.

Lets have a look at each of the squad in detail:

India Blue: Yuvraj Singh (capt), Shikhar Dhawan, Srivats Goswami, Ajinkya Rahane, Manoj Tiwary, Irfan Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Piyush Chawla, Umesh Yadav, RP Singh, Yo Mahesh, Ganesh Satish, Tanmay Srivastava

Jadeja is part of the squad and so is Irfan Pathan. Who is Ganesh Satish? A search on cricinfo yielded 5 results none of which matched this lad.  Ok on wikipedia its suggested that he is part of Karnataka squad, he is an opener.

India Red: Led by Sri Sri Sriyut Wicketkeeper Shiromani Chennainandan Swaminandan Dinesh Karthikam. Alias KKD alias Boss DK alias Bosseshwar.  His credits and debits are well known. Before he could have left for a promotion tour of a Kolly movie, Srikanth pulled him out and assigned responsibilities of leading Lal India. Thats a behind door entry to India test team. Now if MSD injures further his finger, Bosseshwar would be back in the team.

India Green:  IPL Nandan, Champion Swamy Subramaniam Badrinath Maharaj who last played ODIs good 2 years back would lead a Hari India team. Credentials ? Zilch. But hailing from state of Srikanth and BCCI chief to be yielded dividends.  And guess who is the part of the team ? Mr Junior Sreekanth. Credentials ? One 40 odd in CLT20 and being son of Srikanth. 

Ashvin is part of this team means he wont be part of 2nd Australian Test too.  If he was so impressive in CLT20, what the butt is he doing in Challengers Trophy.

None in the 3 squads knows Usha Raje Stadium as better as Naman Ojha, but what he would speak, Dabri wont get it. 

Srikanth does it again. He has pushed his croonies in the teams and now with Srini coming over as BCCI prez we would see India becoming Tamil Nadu XI in future FTP tours.  And let me remind you not worthy players from TN XI, but useless and flop players who have some relations to this bigots would be in.  Dinesh Karthik and Dabri havent played well for India in ages, yet they keep coming in out of nowhere.

Even Wasim Jaffer and Ajit Agarkar did not get this many chances when Dilip Vengsarkar was around. At least Jaffer made some hundreds in that span of 2006-08, what about this 2?
